The Swan Drive-in Theatre -- Entertaining Patrons Since 1955

History of the Swan:
In 1955, Jack Jones, Sr., and W. H. Tilley, Jr. built the Swan Drive-In Theatre. This drive-in theatre was the beginning of the real growth of Blue Ridge. People came from miles around to see movies on a large screen.

How the Swan got its name: During World War II, Mr. Tilley was stationed in England part of the time and while in England, he admired the swans swimming on the lakes and ponds. They were so beautiful and peaceful he suggested the name "Swan" for the new drive-in. Mr. Jones also liked the name as it was short and would be easy to have a neon sign made for it. Jack Jones Sr. and W.H. Tilley, Jr., operated the theatre until 1959, when Mr. Tilley sold to Mr. Jones.

One of three remaining drive-in theaters in Georgia, the Swan Drive-In Theatre offers a unique taste of the past with current first-run movies.

You can enjoy a movie outside under the stars or in the privacy of your car. At the Swan Drive-In Theatre, motor homes, campers, and RV's are welcome. There's plenty of space, but hookups are not available.

Swan Drive-In Theatre is located at 651 Summit Street, just inside the city limits of Blue Ridge, Georgia. To see what’s playing, call (706) 632-5235, and visit The Swan web site for more information.
